Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.


Standard options: 
A. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.


Thought: This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.
Answer: A

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.
shot_info: im_task_001477

K
options: Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.

Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.
problem_activity: Activity
This practice activity is similar to the last activity in the associated Algebra 1 lesson, except that students are asked to find specific information about the contexts before being asked to compare them.
To give students a greater opportunity to communicate their thinking verbally and listen to the reasoning of others, we recommend assigning each student to either work on function
\(m\)
or
\(p\)
for the first question, and then get together in groups of 2–4 to tackle the remaining questions.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. In each group, one partner completes the first question for function
\(m\)
, and the other partner for function
\(p\)
. Then, partners should work together using the information they found in the first question to complete the remaining questions.
It’s a judgment call about whether to ask students to find the maximum of function
\(m\)
without a graphing calculator or provide access to graphing calculators. In the associated Algebra 1 lessons, there are times when students are asked to answer such a question without graphing.
Student Facing
Two objects are thrown into the air. The height of object M in meters is modeled by the function
\(m(x)=(5+10x)(1.5-x)\)
with
\(x\)
representing time in seconds. The height of object P in meters is modeled by the function
\(p\)
, represented by the graph.
[IMG]
For each object, determine:
the time at which the object hit the ground
the height from which the object was thrown
the maximum height of the object
the time at which the object reached its maximum height
Which object was launched from a greater height? Explain your reasoning.
Which object hit the ground first? Explain your reasoning.
Which object reached a greater maximum height? Explain your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
Much of the conversation will take place within groups. Time permitting, invite students to create a visual display of their solutions and explanations. Give students an opportunity to review other groups’ work, and time to revise and refine their own work. If desired, select a few exemplary visual displays to keep posted in the classroom to support students in later lessons.
